Re: The importance of offtopic
#2I got some kind of summer flu the other day. It always catches me by surprise that you can get "a cold" in summer.
Oh, well, I don't really mind, it is one of the few times I rest and don't keep chipping away at my todo-list.
It sucks too though, because I also had plans with friends and it's harder to make new plans since many of my friends are teachers and start working soon, around the 20th.

Sad to hear but curious to know: before you got the flu, did you expose yourself to sunlight?
There are more and more studies showing how light helps our immune system.

Yes, outside everyday, summer is my season.
Although I prefer not being in direct sunlight I'm still in sunlight every day.
Interesting how sunlight is helpful, do you know/think it is the light in itself, vitamin D, both or something else?
My mistake, which in hindsight is obvious: I spent 3 days with a person at the end of their flu :)
Still worth!

#5I don’t see why my colleagues should be my friends. Then again I live in Germany and it seems to be very much not the culture to mix those two things here

I am no expert myself but it as far as I understand morning or late-afternoon sunlight’s red and near-infrared light boosts mitochondria and thus supports immunity.

They don't need to be friends, but acknowledging the inter-human relationship is often appreciated.

Not many people know this, only myself and a few of my clan, but reflected photons are actually no longer quantumly entwined with the sun, bouncing off of normal matter de-entangles them.
Thus they become robbed of their primary source of rejuvenating power!
We've been working on a device to try to force re-entanglement for centuries. Once done, we will be able to get the proper nutrition fed to us by the sun at all times.
Bob, our thirdmost clan member, has done some work with a non-portable device. He provides, for a small subscription fee, bottled water infused with re-tangled photons. We can ship this to you worldwide, but you need to act fast as they're trying to stop us, and ewW)@#

#10> Take all the human element away from work and work degrades.
I used to not believe this before, but after COVID, I saw that this is how it is, at least for my personality
